    Wellies

    Not a genre I've ever read Chris. I'm more of a Ken Follett, Lee Child, Clive Cussler kind of guy. The most "out there" book I've ever read was "A clockwork orange" and a bloody hard read it was!

    Cheesepaste Too Stiff

    I add a splash of this. I make mine up pretty much like this, it seems to stay soft enough.

    Light Lure Fishing For Perch - Mainline

    Daiwa j braid x8 is relatively cheap. I have the 20lb on a spinning rod I use on the boat at sea and the 4x in 5.5lb on a drop shot set up that has yet to see the light of day. The 20lb is really nice to use, can't comment on the 4x-5.5lb in use but first impressions were good compared to other...

    Is it a good book Chris?

    Wellies

    I have a pair that I use for beach/coast fishing. I find them not too bad, I know I'm in the minority though.

    Flask

    A litre of water weighs 1 kilo, add a flask and you could be almost doubling that. A small stove plus a litre of water and gas is neglibibly more. Enjoy a fresh brew 😉

    Daiwa emblem br25a

    I recently got two of these in the 5000 size for my roach rods. They might seem on the big size but after comparing the 2500, 3000, 4000 and 5000., I settled on the 5000 for the spool size for (rightly or wrongly) increased casting distance on some of the bigger waters I plan to fish. Also I can...

    OCD and fishing.

    I have a bit of it going on but nothing OTT.

    BFT

    I thought it was illegal to specifically target them in the UK, not that it bothers me👍

    Swingtips

    They work better in shallower water, I used to use one on a lake near Nuneaton. Bite indication is good. My powermesh avons have the threaded eye but I don't think I'll be using them.

    Melting Lead

    I gave it up as a bad job a few years ago, heard a few horror stories. DRY DRY DRY If I still did it I'd enclose everything in a brick/block frame with a heavy lid.

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    Not sure if any of their products will be suitable or similar to ESP but bank tackle do various hooklink materials in 20m spools for the same price.

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    Do you really worry about a length of line? So you will change from changing the rig every cast, to changing just the hook every cast? Unnecessary either way IMO!

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    I can knock up a "rig" in next to no time. These things are a gimmick IMO. Not for me!

    Cheese Flavours

    Flood water reels

    My flood water gear is now my standard gear for any water, 2.25lb rods and Shimano 10000XTE's All options covered all of the time. Until recently I used 1.75lb and 6000 GTE's for smaller waters but a barbel doesn't know it's in a small or big water, go heavy, get them in quick! They pull just...
